Answer

0.033

Work Step by Step

P(E) = $\frac{no.\ of\ outcomes\ in\ favor}{Total\ no.\ of\ outcomes}$
The table in the book shows the distribution of owners and renters who moved. Knowing that a total of 39 million people moved, we find the probability of a given outcome.
E : A person who moved to a different country
Favorable outcomes= {1.3}
P(E) = $\frac{1.3}{39}$ =0.033
